Subject: transform 'from:' username?

From: [email-masked] (one-note pony)

alright, i know this sounds nefarious, but it's not... i need messages
sent by user@myhost to have as the From: address "longusername@myhost".
my linux doesn't seem to work well with usernames of more than 8
characters, and i would really like to map the login name this way.  i
know there's a sendmail remedy for this, but it requires hacking with
sendmail.cf in a way i really don't want to try.  do any of you know a
workaround?  a new option to recompile with, perhaps?

thanks
